The XJWEB/3270 wrapper

Top  Previous  Next

As described in the chapters above, the XJWEB/3270 wrapper servlet allows to the users to connect to an XCICS application using a web browser, without the need for any additional software. This means the no Applet or Active/X is downloaded by the client side. The only requirement is a web browser.

Note: please remeber to define terminal connected via XJWEB/3270 as "standard" type.

Client side requirements

By the client side Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or Netscape 6 are required.

Known limitations

The XJWEB/3270 technology cannot be mixed with the standard XJWEB technology.

When the page is loaded, the function must be initialized issuing
